Radio Free Europe (RFE) has initiated multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration and Kari Lake over the termination of its funding, which it claims has jeopardized critical reporting, especially on Ukraine. In response to these funding cuts, Czechs and several EU officials are urging the European Union to step in and support RFE. The EU is currently debating possible measures to sustain the organization amidst the fallout from the US government’s actions. The situation has sparked discussions regarding the implications of losing a key voice for Central and Eastern Europe, with EU foreign policy leaders expressing concerns about the impact on regional stability and information dissemination.
